MySpace is now secretly targeting preteens!

Look closely at the MySpace front page as of the time of this posting. Notice the Bratz ad? Bratz is paying MySpace to place that on the front page on MySpace gets money for it. Whats wrong with this? Bratz besides being a slutty toy for preteens is on a site that is for people who are 14 and older. MySpace says they are determined to get rid of any under-aged members to help protect them against predators and indecent content. This got hypocrisy all over it!

The link the ad goes to: http://www.myspace.com/bratzmovie

Oh and did anyone catch the Palm Treo in the picture? Pretty sexy.

May 15th’s gas boycott

I can see why people want to do something about this outrageous gas prices but  boycotting gas stations for a day isn’t gonna do a thing.  Currently here in NJ it is around $2.91 a gallon.  The national average is $3.50 a gallon I hear.  The boycott won’t improve a thing unless done right.  Think of it this way, imagine the boycott was for a week.  Every doesn’t buy gas for a whole week.  Once the week is up, most people will be out of gas and need a new tank full.  Gas companies aren’t stupid, they will want to charge even more they day everyone starts buying a new tank of gas.  The only way to get prices to change is to just use less gas.  Avoiding buying gas for a day just makes people feel a little better but it’s not doing anything.

On the Official Palm Blog, they posted some info on National Bike-To-Work Week.  Basically what it calls for to stop using a car to get to work when other alternatives can be used.  Bike to work, bike to train, or take a bus.  Not something that can be done in all areas but definitely a good idea.  If I could, I would do it too.
